WW: Slideshow of Birth

I know I haven't posted Nate's Birth story... but I wanted to share the slideshow that Andrea made from all the pictures that she took at our birth.

I told you that I was "sitting the fence" as far as having a photographer at the birth. Laboring without an epidural is HARD and I really didn't want to feel like I was "distracted" (not that she would have but anything extra mentally on a momma at that time isn't beneficial) .... so Andrea was soooo gracious in being a part of laboring and then waiting for the pushing (which was very HARD) and getting all those newborn moments that MOmma misses!!!

Andrea, Thank you soo much! You truely are a sweet and gracious friend. I thank you for being a part of Nate's delivery.... I know you were not far away even when I pushed :) And thank you for going beyond to prepare the slideshow for us!!

Im so glad you love having them! I knew you would! I think its one of those things ppl are unsure of because its such a personal time.. totally understand that :-) but once you see them and they are there to cherish, totally worth it!! I love having mine of Owen (which btw Kelly did just as amazing!). I plan to have someone there for any birth I have, I think you will be my photographer now HAHA

I love doing it tho and hope I can eventually really market myself to do them on a regular basis.

Hes so sweet. One of my fav photos is of him laying in the little incubator thing, and Brian is reaching over with his finger and touches his pinky.. its SO PRECIOUS! And then that photo of him laying on your chest and his hand stretched out. THat was right after he came out 2.. super special.

Rest up! cant wait to read what I missed ;-) Oh and I could BARELY hear you, between the nurses in the hall, and the baby next to your room, I was scared id miss Nates "1st cries" :-)

Im sure you werent as loud as crazy tribal lady (me) :-) you were amazing!

These are so precious. I totally wish I had done something like this with my kiddos. Such a special treasure for you and your family to have pictures of Nate's birth. Enjoy that new little guy...I know you are so in love! :)

Anna is 12 and is the best big sister around!! She works hard in home school enjoying math, science and history! During play she likes being Lydia and Chris' teacher as well as practicing the piano, working with horses and her bunny, Mr Darcy, and

Christopher is 11 and is the definition of "all boy"... LEGOS, fishing, tools and weapons! He loves math and retains details from stories and history amazingly well. We love his drawings and stories, his fort building skills and his compassionate heart. Chris blogs about his drawings.

Lydia is feisty and mature at 9!! She's a princess tomboy... One minute she's sword fighting with her brothers, the next minute she is making bracelets with her sister. Lydia loves reading! Her servant's heart and her contagious smile make her a joy! Lydia blogs about the pets at our house.

Nate is our busy 6 yr old!! He loves his siblings and tries to keep up with them!! He provides the entertainment and a lot of the distractions in our days. It's an exciting time watching him learn new things every moment. We all adore his funny statements and crazy antics!
